 I'm not surprised.  For people who aren't professionals or
 enthusiasts in computing technology it can be very difficult to
 really understand the risks involved.

 Perhaps the best way to explain it is with a physical analogue:
 most people wouldn't put something very valuable and critical to
 the operation of their business in a public locker
 with "1234" as the combination.  But when it comes to typing
 something into a text box in the privacy of their own office,
 there's a real false sense of security there.
